As a reputable source for boat reviews, we at See Dealer Cost had the pleasure of exploring the all-new 2024 Grady White Boat Center Console Series Fisherman 180. This rib is a standout in the Fiberglass Fish category, boasting an array of features designed for avid anglers and pleasure boaters alike.
One of the first things you'll notice about the Fisherman 180 is its robust and sturdy structure. Hand-laid SeaV2 hull and deck ensure both durability and excellent nautical performance. This vessel guarantees stability and agility with optimum power, driven by a 150 HP engine. Its 54-gallon fuel tank ensures long journeys without the need for constant refueling. The Center Console Series boasts a center line length of 17'10", a beam width of 7'5", and a bridge clearance of 5'7", making it perfect for entering and exiting tight spaces with unrestricted views.
The Fisherman 180 doesn't just perform well; it also prioritizes safety. Automatic bilge pumps, a low-profile stainless steel bow grab rail, and integral cockpit toe rails all contribute to its safety profile. Moreover, the non-skid fiberglass liner and self-bailing cockpit make it safe to handle even in challenging weather conditions. The vessel is also equipped with an 11-gallon insulated raw water livewell, suitable for preserving your prized catches.
Convenience is also at the heart of Grady White’s design. The boat hosts aft seats, a bench seat with a reversible back, forward console seat, and casting platform. As for the storage needs, the boat is fitted with rod storage racks, aft rigging compartments, and a lockable console storage. Storing fishing gear, personal items, or extra cargo is no longer a headache.
Captain Grady, a digital boat system and operations guide for iPad and iPhone, ensures you can smoothly operate the boat and access its innovative features with merely a tap. This feature primarily steals the show, making the Grady White Boat Center Console Series a modern and user-friendly choice among competitors.
Overall, the Fisherman 180 combines Grady White's classic engineering with contemporary advancements, making it a must for boaters who prioritize safety, performance, and comfort. At an MSRP of $62,530, its remarkable features and advancements offer significant value for the price.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
